r. III. Mcdonald Jr., has sued
his wife for a divorce. His wife
was formerly Miss Belle Gardner of
this city. Although the papers
hint at some very sensational de-
velopements, there appears to be
nothing in the suit for the scandal
mongers to feast on except that Mrs.
Mcdonald became disguised with
the ways of her husband and re-
fused any longer to live with him.

and his peculiarities, all agree that

citation with man of his habits

BOB MORROW.

Bob Morrow used to be one of
the most envied and prominent men
in San Francisco. He had great
wealth, and high social posi-
ton, and his money made him al
most omnipotent. He is now shun-
ned and dispised by his old associ-
ates, because his true character has
been exposed, and no one likes to
hobnob with a man over whose
career the shadow of San Quentin
is beginning to creep. The jury
bribing scandal is coming to the
surface, and Morrow, who has SO
long had a supreme contempt for
everybody and everything, is begin
ming to sweat blood. A poor widow
was suing for the death of her hus-
band, who died from injuries re-
ceived on Morrow's railroad. The
jury was bribed to defeat the ends
of Justice and rob the widow of her
due. The jury fxers say that Nor
row was behind the scenes furnish
ing the money to fix the jury.

he AN AMERICAN.

Some of our subscribers tell us
that it is poor policy for the Times
to so strongly advocate the manage
ment of American affairs by Ameri-
cans. Policy or no policy, it is
right, and it is almost a certain
thing that we will live long enough
to have some of these people tell us
we are right. If there is now any
body taking the Times who wishes
to stop because our views on the
American question seem to be radi-
cal, they are at liberty to discon-
tinue paying for the paper, provided
they will all allow us to send it to
them free, SO that they may read
what little native Americanism we
can preach.-Lyon County Times.
The "policy" part of the bust
ness is just what every out-spoken,
flat-footed American avoids. 1t has
been a matter of policy for years
for the editors of American news
papers to slobber over the foreign
vote.
This constant cringing and crawl
ing at the feet of foreigners is what
makes Americans dispised in Eu-
rope. You do not find the news
papers in England, Germany and
Ireland SOLDERING over Ameri-
cans. A man can come to this
country, become naturalized, and
in few years hold offices of honor
and emolument that an American
of the same intelligence could never
hope to reach. These Office hold
ers are put on the ticket to catch
the foreign vote, and nothing else.
The foreigners know it perfectly
well, and dispise the spirit of truck
ling eowardice that prompts it.
